Hi fellas (and gals). I just read a little article in my blue book of firearms about investing in replica BP revolvers. The guy made a compelling case for doing so. He stated that the appreciation in prices has nearly equaled that of their originals and of course, it has a lower barrier to entry due to the lower prices of the replicas.
I gotta tell ya, I love BP guns, all of them, but especially the C&B replica revolvers. I just can't get enough of them. So this of course is good news because I get a double wammy - the positives of building a collection - and the potential for some return on investment, should I choose to sell some of them in the future.
So, I would like to start a discussion, on how well these investments have paid off over the last 30, 40, or 50 years. What I am curious about is what some of you have paid for your replica revolvers. If you could list a few of the dates (approx year), the manufacturer, the revolver, and the price, we could at least get an idea of the kinds of returns that may be available for a long term investor/collector.
